    Sweet MoPed. if your not getting spark, clean the points on the ignition. Since it's been sitting, it's probably corroded. I almost bought myself a Tomos a few months back, Sweet little thing, looks like a shrunken cafe racer.

      Stripped the bike down and made a list of things. Did the points, just need to wait for the paint to dry on a few pieces.

        I have a moped project too, for a 78 Batavus. It tops out at 30mph tho. Cool to see other moped projects on r3v

          I've been trying to convince my 14 yr old boy that he needs a moped, but he's not interested. Truth is, I want one! I am partial to Motobecane look.

            is this pronounced 'puke', 'pook', 'pooch', or 'putch'?


            i really hope it's the first one.

                    That cafe style one is SO BEAST!

                    I am thinking about this kit:


                    I am not sure on what combos would be best, but that would get me to around 45mph and retain good mpg.

                    I am REALLY thinking over making one of these:


                    I am going to delete the pedals first and make a kick start for it. Then do a kit and by winter a cafe style conversion.

                      Don't delete the pedals .. They are half the charm of a moped. Feel free to pm me any questions.

                        The pedals are growing on me...as is the thoughts of hitting the 1/4 pipe in my backyard lol. BMX Moped?

                        Most important update...legal and in my name now. Also bought a set of smexy tires: Michelin Gazelle M62 2.25/2.50

                              I had a yellow one as a teen,we just ran it around an empty parking lot and a dead end street.
                              As I recall at full throttle I could pedal it past the point where the motor was doing anything to propel the bike.

                                I am having a blast on it, my brothers came over and I took it for a 30 mile ride to get some burgers. My phone GPS app and both their bikes said I was doing 31mph flat out.
                                I get nothing but thumbs up and smiles from others. Had a few bikers laughing and smiling as I went by with my brothers: CBR 600RR and a Suzuki 600 sports bikes.
                                And it is a TOTAL chick magnet, I have no clue why but women come up and just start talking with me. Winks and blowing kisses, all funny as shit.

                                I cannot wait for the new tires, these weather cracked ones are scary.

                                I have a LONG ass scarf that blows in the wind and a leather jacket haha. It is funny as hell, I just sit at a stop lights doing a lifted rear tire burnout.
